Crypto analyst EGRAG Crypto has put forward a bold prediction regarding the market trajectory of XRP relative to Ethereum (ETH). According to his recent analysis, XRP is taking on the role traditionally held by ETH in the cryptocurrency liquidity cycle, a shift that he believes will result in XRP surpassing Ethereum’s market capitalization twice in this cycle. #XRP – Will Flip #ETH Twice!: Here’s how the money typically flows: #BTC → #ETH → #LargeCaps → #Altseason The flow now looks like this: #BTC → #XRP → #LargeCaps → #MidCaps → #Altseason Shoutout to @Coins_Kid for being the first to highlight this trend!… https://t.co/8DwD0CcGF7 pic.twitter.com/zhcAzS4HS3 — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) January 29, 2025 Changing Market Dynamics EGRAG Crypto highlights a shift in the typical capital flow pattern within the cryptocurrency market. Historically, liquidity has moved from Bitcoin (BTC) to Ethereum, followed by large-cap altcoins, mid-cap assets, and smaller-cap cryptocurrencies. However, he argues that XRP is replacing ETH’s role in this cycle. He suggests that liquidity is flowing as follows: Traditional Cycle: BTC → ETH → Large Caps → Altseason Current Cycle: BTC → XRP → Large Caps → Mid Caps → Altseason This observation aligns with the views of other analysts, including CoinsKid, who have previously stated that XRP is leading the altcoin market. CoinsKid has been vocal about XRP’s influence on the broader crypto space since early 2023, reinforcing that it is now setting the pace for other digital assets. The Two Flips: XRP Surpassing Ethereum in Market Cap EGRAG Crypto outlines two key moments in this cycle when XRP is expected to surpass Ethereum in market capitalization. The First Flip: This would occur when XRP reaches a market cap of approximately $500 billion, which he estimates would correspond to a price range of $7 to $8 per token. At this point, XRP would overtake Ethereum in valuation for the first time. The Second Flip: The second instance is projected to happen when Ethereum climbs to a valuation range of $6,000 to $8,000. During this phase, XRP would reach a price between $20 and $27, pushing its market cap to an estimated $1 trillion to $1.3 trillion, once again surpassing ETH. These predictions suggest that XRP will experience a significant price increase and also gain a stronger position in the broader market, challenging ETH’s dominance in the altcoin sector.

While Ethereum has been marketed as “ultrasound money” due to its burning mechanism, he points out that its issuance rate is currently outpacing the burn rate. Over the past week, Ethereum’s issuance rate has reportedly been 3.1 times higher than the amount burned. This could undermine Ethereum’s long-term value proposition, particularly if investors view its inflationary characteristics as risk. EGRAG Crypto takes a strong stance against Ethereum’s monetary policy, stating that the network’s inflation undermines its claims of being a sound financial asset. Market Implications If EGRAG Crypto’s predictions hold, XRP’s rise could reshape the competitive landscape among major cryptocurrencies. The asset has long been positioned as a bridge currency for cross-border payments , and its adoption by financial institutions could further fuel its growth. The shift in liquidity flow from ETH to XRP would also suggest broader market sentiment favoring XRP over Ethereum. While these projections remain speculative, they highlight ongoing discussions about XRP’s potential to challenge Ethereum’s market dominance. Investors will closely watch market movements to see whether XRP’s trajectory aligns with these expectations.
